Underwriting scenarios

Medians of individual for-sale property scenarios using each listing’s own asking price and rent estimate. These are modeled results, not observed investment returns.

Scenario assumptions: 20.00% down; 7.50% fixed interest for 30 years; 2.00% closing costs; 5.00% of scheduled rent for capital reserves. Management 10.00%, maintenance 5.00%, and vacancy 5.00% of scheduled rent; annual taxes and insurance 1.50% of asking price. No HOA, rehab, or appreciation is assumed. Break-even occupancy above 100% indicates the scenario cannot cover costs at the modeled rent.

Underwriting summaries begin with the next fresh source-cycle snapshot. Earlier reports are not reconstructed from current listings.

Monthly market reports

Each report preserves the last available observation in a completed UTC calendar month, rather than a monthly average. Months without fresh source coverage are left blank.

How to read these numbers

Price and rent reflect distinct listing cohorts rather than paired properties. Modeled yields and cap rates apply standard operating expense baselines and exclude individual financing, income taxes, and future capital expenditures.

Current published markets with the closest median asking prices, ordered by proportional price difference. This is a price comparison, not a ranking of investment quality:

What these medians mean for a rental budget

The price and rent medians describe different listings. Combining them below is a hypothetical sensitivity exercise, not a representative property, observed return, or recommendation.

Using the latest listing snapshot, with source data as of September 11, 2026.

At a $648,930 purchase and $2,610 monthly rent, assume 25% down, a 7.5% fixed mortgage for 30 years, 5% vacancy, operating costs equal to 30% of scheduled rent, and a separate 5% capital reserve. These expense and financing assumptions are illustrative, not measured local costs.

Replace the teaching assumptions with actual taxes, insurance, HOA fees, maintenance, vacancy, and loan terms in the rental property cash flow calculator. This example excludes income taxes, appreciation, and acquisition costs.
